The news from within the heart of the Great Britain medal factory is that we have not yet reached our peak

Do not think that this was it. Do not slide into the assumption that, because
the British team had a half-decent performance at the Games, this is as good
as it will get. The news from within the heart of the Great Britain medal
factory is that we have not yet peaked. As one of the most senior people in
British sport said: “What is so exciting is we are generally only on three
of five cylinders.”

There is a reason for this, and it is marginally less to do with Mo Farah, and
more to do with Louis Smith.
